This is the hand strength trainer that verbally announces results as you exercise, eliminating the distraction of tracking statistics visually. As you repeatedly squeeze the device's handgrip, it strengthens the extensor muscles in your hands, wrists, and elbows, helping to reduce the painful symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome, tennis elbow, and tendonitis. The exerciser announces the force of the current squeeze, the accumulated force of all squeezes, total number of repetitions, and maximum squeeze force (up to 110 lbs.) in a pleasant female voice. It also displays statistics on an LCD panel and can be silenced. The compact, lightweight unit tucks into a jacket pocket or purse for impromptu workouts anywhere. Requires two AAA batteries. 7 1/4" L x 2 3/4" W x 1 1/2" D. (3 oz.)

Gave the hand strengthener as a gift to increase grip strength and when the batteries were inserted, it would not work as advertised in the included short instruction sheet. We attempted to reset it according to the manual but it continued to be stuck and would not even register a reading after gripping and releasing it. I was first attracted to this device for the "talking" feature but found it almost impossible to read (print too small and light), would not turn off, did not register any activity, and would not reset. I am very disapopinted in this device and will be returning it to HS. I cannot imagine they call this the "best" of anything!

Bottom LineNo, I would not recommend this to a friend

I bought this because I knew my hands were cramping up sometimes and my dexterity was going downhill. I was going to get a traditional gripper but I never liked the design of those units. I liked this unit because use every finger and thumb and know the intensity of the grip without any scraping or cutting of hands like most hand grippers. You will notice yourself getting stronger everyday.

I love this product, it can tell you your total pounds after each squeeze, or you can have it tell you how well you did on each individual squeeze, OR you can have it count them off for you. Just be careful you have it on the right mode when you clear the results, make sure, if you want to keep a record of your BEST squeeze, that you have the selector on total force, if you have it on maximum it will clear your best squeeze! It's light, easy to bring with you, and it so far has been economical on batteries. A great purchase!
